Art 280: Beginning Jewelry – change course number to ART 282 (because 280 is a Special Topics number).
Change title to Jewelry/Small Metals I, revise course description – This was one of many similar Art proposals that clarified the Studio Art course titles and descriptions. We consented approval of all of those in November, but this proposal was held up because of the need to change the course number. Jodie caught the problem with the course number, and then Art had to respond, and then we need to move the revised proposal to the Consent Calendar, and somehow that final step never happened.
Because of the need to meet the catalog deadline, the fact that all the similar proposals were approved with no questions asked, and the fact that we messed up, Cindy and Jodie decided to send this proposal on to the catalog before it had official ICC and Senate approval. If anyone wishes to object, we can still pull the proposal out of the 2016/17 catalog.

Resolution RE RRWS probationary Status replacement:
Senate report:
Update on the Probationary Status for Rangeland Resources/Wildland Soils: Senate Resolution 12-09/10/EX from Nov. of 2009 recommended a four-year probationary continuation of the RRWS program dependent upon the program’s success at meeting benchmarks that were to be negotiated between the Dean, the Department, and the Provost. If those benchmarks were not met, the ICC was to automatically recommend to the Senate that RRWS should be discontinued. RRWS has done well enough at meeting those benchmarks that the ICC is not recommending discontinuation. It is our understanding, however, that the College of Natural Resources and Sciences will continue to work with RRWS to identify and implement appropriate measures to ensure the program’s continued viability.

New Economics Concentration for Business Degree Resolved
That the University Senate of Humboldt State University recommends to the Provost that a new Concentration in the Economics in the Business Administration Major as proposed in Curriculum form 14-315 be approved; and be it further
Rationale: Students in this concentration will complete the business core and plus 22-24 units of Economics and Business Statistics courses. No new courses will be needed for the concentration. The Business Administration and Economics programs expects to have sufficient room in classes to serve the expected 35-40 students in this concentration without adding more sections of courses. Students will not be permitted to earn both a Business major with a Concentration in Economics and a Minor in Economics. / 2. Consent of Calendar
